Memory Usage of Desktops

Memory Usage of Desktops

I haven't got a clue about their memory usage.

Enlightenment little over 400MB

Cinnamon with all its utilities about 1.2GB but one can get the basic desktop with 250MB,

Gnome I have no idea since it comes with other utilities with minimum of  7GB. 

It probably tops over at least 1 (one) GB out this 7GB.

KDE is at least 2GB but light weigh plasma takes 250 in Reborn OS.

Cosmic Desktop I would have guessed about 1.5GB but it is taking only 275MB.

I did not try any on Ubuntu which are fast depreciating.

BlendOS

 OS Type Linux

Based on ARCH Linux

Origin India

Architecture x86-64

blendOS is an Arch Linux-based, rolling-release distribution which automates installing software from supported distributions (Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu) into containers. blendOS tries to make software management in across containers feel native and provides access to the user's home directory for each container.     

RebornOS

 Reborn OS is pretty Good.
Installation is over and it has many good features.

I am currently Installing Reborn Os on top of CarchyOS which is also based on ARCH but minimal. This my penultimate stage of testing ARCG based distribution which were all based on KDE (EndeavourOS, BlueStarLinux OS which I have already installed in my System) but this one I chodse Gnome sice that is only desktop I would promote due to amny reasons.

Gnome of Debian is my workhorse. 

Installation is fast.

Graphical instructions are intuitive and I had the choice of selecting Abiword, OpenOffice, LibreOffice and another word processor I did not know anything about.

Well, I went for my favorite AbiWord.

By the way, little while ago I installed Gnome minus LibreOffice and most of the language installed with FireFox saved 2GB and the Grand Total was just over 7GB for basic install and with all my utilities and it went up to 8GB and I have 11GB left remaining in my root partition of 19GB, for any additional packages I might Install.

RebornOS is a desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. Although the RebornOS live image provides one desktop only, the installation process offers a choice to install one of the many popular desktop environments and window managers. Other interesting features of the distribution include support for Flatpak packages, optional installation of Anbox for running Android applications, a capability to rollback the system to a previous date, and graphical system configuration and maintenance tools.
